This series through Jonah talks specifically about how today's churches act a lot like Jonah in our attempts at outreach, and our responses mirror his toward people that we deem 'undesirable' for our church. The doors must be open and the Gospel must be preached.

There is only one Good Shepherd: depend on Him. There are many good shepherds, but they will fail you: only depend on them as they depend on the Good Shepherd. The hired hands leave at the first sign of trouble and are no leaders: don't depend on them at all.

Jesus, the Shepherd, is also Jesus, the Door. That Door is the provider of salvation, protection, and profusion. The Shepherd has all we need and more.

Throughout the Bible, the called out church is referred to as a flock of sheep. While not always a flattering comparison, it captures well the believer's relationship to and with Jesus. This passage looks specifically at that relationship.

A gift's benefits can never be experienced until the gift is received. Salvation, the Remarkable Gift given through the birth, life, and death of God's only Son, must likewise be received. The gift is given. Will you accept it?

The Magi, looking for the newborn King, are a model for us today of what it means to seek something of value. The signs around us point us to our greatest need: a Savior to whom we offer everything.

To answer Mark Lowry, yes, Mary knew. She knew a lot about that baby she was carrying. She knew enough to sing an incredible song about it. She knew enough to recognize what an incredible gift Jesus would be.
